Sharon was defined by her great love of family. She was intensely proud of her grandchildren and loved them unconditionally. One of her greatest pleasures was watching their development as well as their achievements and their trials. She was always looking for that perfect little incentive for them.
Sharon’s great love was history and she researched and compiled a large amount of historical data on various branches of the family and the compilation of historical film of the United Church history in Devon, AB. She was an avid reader with remarkable recall and was instrumental in forming several book clubs and libraries in the various communities in which she lived. She was a tireless supporter in these endeavors and made an impact in every one of the eight communities she called home (Marsden, Lafleche, Rosetown, Kindersley, SK, Swan River, Deloraine, Winnipeg, MB, Devon and Okotoks, AB).
Sharon had an enduring faith and shared it through her many activities. In recent years, she was dedicated to supporting the community in Okotoks, AB and the United Church. She volunteered her time and lovingly opened her arms to those who needed “someone” in their lives to lean on. She was always responsive to her communities needs and joyous triumphs.
A memorial will be held at Okotoks United Church on Saturday November 3, 2018, at 1:00 p.m. to celebrate Sharon’s life, legacy and beautiful impact on our lives!
In lieu of flowers, please make donations in Sharon’s honor to the Okotoks United Church or the Chinook Hospice.
